Fabric Fun...

My friend Melinda was at Hancock Fabrics when they were giving away their fabric samples. Melinda snapped up 175 samples. We brainstormed what she could do with them. See our list below.

When Melinda saw the samples she immediately thought they would make a great wine bottle bag/cozy. Without any sewing we wrapped a fabric sample around a bottle just to see what it would look like...with a few sitches it will look fabulous.

The fabric could be turned into clothing for your wine. Years ago someone gave me this fun wine bottle dress.

Okay, here is our list. What would you do with the fabric samples?

Wine bottle covers/bags

Wine bottle attire

Placemats

Gift bags

Book covers

Insulin carriers

Snakes (the kind that are filled with beans and put at the base of the door or in the window sill to keep out the cold)

Oh how wonderful to have that much fabric!! :o) There are several items on your list that I would do right away. :o) But what really caught my eye was the insulin carrier. My daughter is insulin dependent. Do you have a pattern or plan to do something like that? I would love to create something sweet for her to carry to school rather than what she currently has.Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
